What the data says
LUSD
LUSD at 0xc40f949f8a4e094d1b49a23ea9241d289b7b2819 is the Optimism-bridged deployment of Liquity's USD — the dollar whose Ethereum original is famously immutable, which makes the local contract posture here the detail that matters. The October 6, 2026 snapshot prices the 110.4 thousand local units at $109.9 thousand fully diluted, inside the asset-wide $26.0 million market cap.
Unlike the governance-free Ethereum contract, this bridged deployment — 1,566 days into its record — still holds an active mint authority and new supply can be minted. Freeze authority is revoked, and it is not a proxy. The book is nearly dormant: $95.8 thousand of thin tracked depth on $689 of 24-hour volume, with 6,714 holders whose ten largest wallets hold 82.0% of supply.
CRV
CRV — Curve DAO Token at 0xd533a949740bb3306d119cc777fa900ba034cd52 — is the governance and incentive token of Curve, the stable-swap AMM that carries a meaningful share of all stablecoin and LST volume on Ethereum. This is a six-year-old protocol token, not a launch, and the honest risks are the ones an established protocol token actually runs: governance economics, emissions, and founder concentration — not honeypot mechanics.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $559.0 million market cap against an $861.8 million fully-diluted value — roughly two-thirds of eventual supply circulating — with $10.0 million of tracked pool depth and 101,017 holders. Depth at that scale is a real exit book for a retail position.
FAQ
Which is bigger, LUSD or CRV?
By tracked market cap: LUSD (Optimism) measures $26.02M and CRV (Ethereum) measures $559.04M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, LUSD or CRV?
On the contract checks we publish: LUSD (Optimism) grades D and CRV (Ethereum) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have LUSD and CRV performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-28 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show LUSD at −0.96% and CRV at −0.18%.
The grade column is the one CMC's compare page cannot print — our grade is computed from the contract itself (mint/freeze authority, liquidity, holder concentration). Changes are measured over the shared window stated on the chart, 2026-09-28→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
